Did my part
Me too!
Same
Well this is surely upsetting.
Apple has been suppressing the resistance in russia. They dont give a fuck about freedom or democracy. It’s naive to think theyll do anything but enable trumps takeover
Of course not. They’re a corporation. We like to think they’re perhaps less evil than others, but the truth is they would harvest their users internal organs if they thought it would increase shareholder value.
Fuck Capitalism.
We’ve known since the beginning their products are made off the suffering of slave labor. Them being evil isn’t new whatsoever.
Tim Apple is literally a financial contributer to the Trump presidency. They are not being shy about their support. I’m Suprised it took them this long, but they’ve always been a bit behind with their maps project.
Oh wtf apple
Did you really expect the trillionaire company to be on your side?
Still says Gulf of Mexico to me. Is the change just for American users then?
In the UK, it says both. One above the other.
Spineless and pathetic.
I’m in the UK. Just says Gulf of Mexico for me, even when I select it.
I’m an American and it still says the proper name for me too.
For me it shows Golf of Mexico until I zoom in.
Lmao its apple map alright
Now it just shows Golf of America for me. Seems to have been caused by the live rollout.
Are you shocked?
In my view, the only ones that really care are the people whose opinions don’t matter. The Gulf of Mexico will always be the Gulf of Mexico, regardless of what it may legally be called. Much the same way, in my view, X will always be Twitter, And Zuckerberg will always be POS.
Sears Tower
Staples Center
6th Avenue
Gulf of Mexico
I don’t give a shit who thinks it should change, I’ll use the original names forever
True, for me America is and has always been Wankistan
I think it’s just disgusting to see these companies I am dependent on bowing down to Trump’s bullshit.
Put all borders in Sharpie, you Apple cowards!!

Google Maps right now:
Hot take, but I’d actually be fine with the US calling it the Gulf of the Americas since it is a shared gulf by north and south America. There are examples like the south China Sea and the Persian Gulf that have different names depending on what country you are in. But calling it the Gulf of America is just dumb.
the gulf of mexico isn’t bordering any country in south america
Yeah gulf of “North America” would be more accurate in that scenario
OK, fine, Central America. OP’s point still stands.
I agree with the sentiment on Gulf of Americas. But I think the singular (and referring to land of both continents) makes more sense. Firstly because it rolls off the tongue better. Secondly because the existence of the ‘North America’ and ‘South America’ both imply that those lands are parts of a larger body of land called America. North America being the Northern half of America. While South America presides in the Southern half.
‘America’ being the United States is only reinforced by the fact that the United States is the most significant nation in global politics East of the Pacific and West of the Atlantic.
That opens another can of worms, since the continent is called America, and the country that appropriated it is The United States of America. Calling the continent “Americas” implies that USA is the original America.
As recent as the 80s it was still called America by everyone except USA and some countries of Europe.
I wish this was the in top 10 reasons to be upset with the US right now.
Corpos gonna corp.
Unlike Google they still have a “report issue” button active.
And I will continue to use it until they take it away
They don’t have to take it away, they can just set up the backend to blackhole those requests. So presence of the report issue facility does not imply they actually will ever even see the issue.
Reported it on Apple Maps as the wrong name. See how long they let reports come in.
Same here. I encourage everyone to do the same, it takes like 20 seconds.
Google maps on Android shows “Gulf of Mexico (Gulf of America)”.
Mine just shows Gulf of America. :-(
Are you in America? I’m in Canada so I wonder if that makes a difference.
I am in the US
